Well now that its over with i guess you would like to know what i think about it huh? Well, i think that just about everyone has the same opinion about Andy. He was funny, he kept you awake, but most importantly, he made you think. He had me hooked from day one.
The first thing he talked about was "Believe." I thought i believed in the Bible, i mean like die hard word for word this is truth belief, but i didnt. And it was because of him, and his questions that made do my research and finally come to the conclution that my Bible rocks. I know have more faith in my Bible because of him, and now i can finally answer all the questions that have to do with my faith.
Second point, "Behave." This part was just about as mind blowing as the first part. I realized that just saying your a christian doesnt mean you are. You have to be a christian. The big thing though that changed my life is that for the longest time i was told that i can listen and watch whatever i want to only as long as i dont do the all the stuff that i know is wrong. Haha i cant believe how stupid that is. He was right about one thing, if you fill your mind with all the things that we know as christians is wrong, believe it or not we might become the very things we point and say "Well i would never do that, i have Jesus." So in this sudden realization i have gone through everything taken all the music off of my ipod that i know is wrong, and i have started turning off the tv when south park or family guy comes on.
Third and final point, "Belong." This one is about being part of the christian community and really knowing what it means to be a real christian. I think that Andy was mailnly getting on the point that we all have sinned., and that we shouldnt "look down our long nose of judgement," just because no one knows our deepest darkest secrets. I admit i have done things that if anyone knew about i might die. But it shouldnt be that way, We are all part of Christ's family and family doensnt give up hope because of what you did yesterday.
And that my friend is what Spirtual emphasis week did to my life. But to sum it up in four words. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
AWESOME. I'm glad Spiritual Emphasis week had such a big effect on you. And I'm proud of you (in a non-sinful type of "pride") that you are taking responsibility for what goes into your mind - whether or not people around you feel the same way. Keep it up!
